Irrigation 1 — Hydraulics: flow, pressure and friction loss
The physics that decides how many sprinklers you can run at once. Flow rate, static and dynamic pressure, friction loss through pipe and fittings, and why the last sprinkler on a long run barely turns.

The practical task and the checklist below are exactly what this lesson will teach. What is missing is the written explanation and the curated links, each one fetched and verified before it ships.
In the meantime the checklist is genuinely usable on its own. Take it outside.
Checklist
- Explain the difference between pressure and flow
- Calculate friction loss for a given pipe size, length and flow
- Understand velocity limits and why oversized pipe is cheap insurance
